Provision of affordable housing must be the main thrust of housing development. Desire for people to live in larger homes and have second or even third houses means that only the price of houses can reduce this 'demand'. Rejects notion that there is massive requirement for new housing. Demand for housing is dependent on the state of the economy and immigration which has significantly reduced.
It is disappointing that central government is seeking to allow 'demand' to dictate supply which obliges our District to provide significant increases in housing.
